Hageman is running in the primary against Rep. Liz Cheney. Trump has endorsed Hageman and has been critical of Cheney ever since she voted to impeach him following the January 6 riot. McCarthy has also been at loggerheads with Cheney, who is the vice-chair of the House Jan. 6 committee.
McCarthy has also garnered criticism among Trump supporters after audio of a phone call leaked last month where he said he planned to tell Trump to step down and was critical of the former president.
"I've had it with this guy," McCarthy said of Trump during the phone call. "What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that, and nobody should defend it."
The recording stood in contrast to McCarthy's public support of Trump.
